On GID 2501.33.76400 Anders Peter Andersson is listed at the bottom of the
page. His name is crossed out and I cannot find out where he went or what
happened to him. Any help is appreciated.
Have a Happy New Year

Yes, Wilhelm was born in Torekov, Kristianstad 1866
GID# 100011.24.15600
Why Gustav went way down there, I have no clue. Spent the rest of his days
in or abouts Bohuslan. Or at least that's what I had thought. These new
siblings born in Halland are a new twist, but can't say I'm surprised.
Thanks for that bit on Gustav A.
Thanks,
Brian

Hi again, JoDell,
My favorite Swedish genealogy periodical is the "Swedish American Genealogist". Read about it here. (Suibscribers are allowed to go to the SAG Workshop (not for free, of course). Some new cds are mentioned in this journal but of course there are many which aren't.
http://www.etgenealogy.se/sag.htm
If you are a member of the Swedish American Historical Society, there is a different journal called the "Swedish-American Historical Quarterly".

Hi JoDell,
There are periodic classes on Swedish genealogy at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. I have gone to those but they are on a beginner level.
Every fall I go to the Swedish American Genealogist (SAG) Workshop in Salt Lake City. This is far better than classes. Read about the SAG Workshop here.
http://www.etgenealogy.se/workshop.htm
The workshop lasts for one week but I usually go for two weeks.

Hello and Happy New Year
Would some one be so kind to look at GID 1095.27.45700. Left side second
entry "Carl." I think this would be my great grandmothers father. I cannot
read much of it. Would it be Carl son of Nils Svensson and Catharina
Hansdotter. Carl was born Jul 18, 1818 and was from Lonåsa. A more
extensive translation would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jeanne in Mo

Hi Jo,
I was going to recommend that you check out the BYU site. I don't know what
you experience is, but these self-paced courses can give you a solid
foundation for your research.

Judy,
Thank you so much for the information. I will go through it in the morning.
I did find that Brigham Young University gives free online Independent Study
classes.
http://ce.byu.edu/is/site/courses/freecourses.cfm
And they offer the following:
FHSCA 73 - Scandinavia: Jurisdictions, Gazetteers, and Maps
FHSCA 74 - Scandinavia: Reading Gothic Script
FHSCA 75 - Scandinavia: Church Records and Feast Days
FHSCA 76 - Scandinavia: Census Records
FHSCA 77 - Scandinavia: Probate and Other Records
I will check these out tomorrow also. I have to get the hor derves ready
for tonight.
Happy New Year Everyone,

Do you know when and where Wilhelm Alexander was born? I'm following the family but lost them in 1859.
Gustav Alfred died 11 Sept 1856 from whooping-cough. See GID 555.39.2600 and 555.50.38200.

I would appreciate a lookup for Carl Oscar Sjögren
b 5 Feb 1853 Mölndahl, Fässberg, Göteborg och Bohus
who emigrated about 1880. He settled in PA, we think.
Also, at least one sister emigrated
Anna Charlotta Sjögren arrived in New York on June 25, 1886 on a ship
called Thingvalla. She settled in Red Wing, MN.
b 4 Feb 1857
The youngest sibling Wilhelm Alexander we know emigrated in 1891 to PA
and
again in 1893 to Red Wing and have that information.
Other siblings that may have emigrated are:
Sofia Amalia b 15 May 1859 we think came over in 1884 but don't know
where
she went,
August Emmanuel b 28 Mar 1851,
Gustav Alfred b 8 Apr 1855.
Thanks for any help on this,
Brian

Hej Claire -
Most likely they were Baptists, although there were probably other
groups that did not baptize children. I'm not sure what the minimum age
for baptism was among Baptists, but I think it was at least 12 or 13.
Hope this helps -

> Yes, I know it means "not baptized." But was this of import only to the clergy? Could this be a faction that didn't allow infant baptism? I found a family with 4 undipped (yoke) children; the father is listed as a soldier for hire. Are these serious heathens? a secret group?

In reply to your second question, when MLO marries Johan Johansson Nyman 1859-03-27 it is with the permission of her father Olof Johansson in Jävre (old spelling Jefre). GID 1991.4.68900.
I followed them backwards through the following pages:

1991.122.34100
1991.99.32200
1991.109.36500
1991.2.18500
1991.7.56400 Here she lives with her parents, Olof Johansson born 1800-06-18 and Anna Christina Carlsdotter born 1801-10-30 and five siblings.

Karin - thanks! I'm sure this will be useful to more folks that just myself.
So the "ska" suffix doesn't denote a female occupation? I had gathered that from sommerska and bagerska. Always more to learn!

Subject: [SWEDEN] occupations
I have accumulated a little list of occupations that I'm uncertain about; please, dear experts, clear these up!
Arvid Teodor Berg f. 1879 is listed in the Death Index as being "Ebbarp."
- Ebbarp is the village where he lived. Lots of Ebbarp in southern Sweden.
Fred. Aug. Jungbeck f. 1844 is listed in the 1900 census as being "Disponent with Mattsonska bryggeriet." Mattson's brick factory? what about "ska" ending? disponent?
- Disponent is a technical company officer under the chief executive officer. In a big company there could be several disponents.
- Mattsonska bryggeriet means "the brewery owned (or started) by Mattson.
Ida Fredrika Berglund is listed as a "Småskolärar." in the 1890 census.
- Små-skol-lärar-inna = infant school teacher(ess).
and Lars Johan Berglund is an "Åkare".
- Åkare = trucker.
oh, and Anshelm Jonsson f. 1880 is listed in 1900 census as "skomakareges." I know the shoemaker part, but what is the "ges."??
- Gesäll is a journeyman.

Information
SWEDEN ROOTSWEB USER GUIDELINE
Hello,
I'd like to take the time to welcome you to the Swedish List and share
information that will help make your research efforts more successful.
Please keep this message filed for future reference.
FIRST: It is important to know that the letters with diacritical
marks are separate letters in the Swedish alphabet and
placed at the end, and all lists are alphabetized accordingly. When
people emigrate these letters are altered in both peoples names and
places which may make locating your ancestor in Sweden a little more
difficult. They can be formed in the following ways:
FOR PC USER: make sure the Num (Number) Lock on your key pad is on,
then hold the Alt key and the following numbers from the number pad:
Alt-142 = Ä Alt-132 = ä Alt-143 = Å Alt-134 = å Alt-153 = Ö
Alt-148 = ö
FOR MAC USERS:
The following keystrokes will make the letters on a Mac
- alt(option)-a / - shift-alt(option)-a / - alt(option)-u and
then a / - alt(option)-u and then shift-a / - alt(option)-u and
then o / - alt(option)-u and then shift-o
SECOND: An understanding of the patronymic naming system is also
essential. Use this link to learn about Swedish naming practices:
http://www.hhogman.se/naming-practice-sweden.htm
THIRD: It is very important to learn how to do Swedish research and
what records and resources are available. Use this link to learn
more:
https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Sweden_Genealogy
FOURTH: There are many online sights with online Swedish records. The
following link has a list:
https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Sweden_Online_Genealogy_Records
One site not listed is the Stockholm Archives. It can be found using
the following link:
http://www2.ssa.stockholm.se/Rotemannen2012/Search.aspx
FIFTH: The records are in Swedish but you can find your way around by
learning a few basic terms, fdde = birth, dd = dead, vigsel =
marriage. For a more comprehensive list of vocabulary words key to
your records search use the following two links:
https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Sweden:_Household_Examination_Vocabulary
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~swewgw/Fact/Dict/facdic02.htm
SIXTH: For those interested in learning more about the Swedish
language, see note, use this link:
http://www.personal.psu.edu/faculty/a/d/adr10/swedish.html
SEVENTH: There are many CD collections available for emigration,
censuses, death records, etc. They can be purchased but many on the
list already own the CDs and will do look-ups for free. This link is
one site offering them for sale:
http://webbutik.riksarkivet.se/en/products/cd-dvd/
The Sweden listers are a very helpful group ready to answer questions
and do look-ups, but it is important to pose your inquiries correctly.
All messages sent to the list are archived and can be searched, so
subject lines should be specific. If I need help with a note in an
HFL (Household Examination) my subject might be Translation help,
Benjamin Andersson Öhlin b. 1831,HFL Öra, Älvsborg. This may seem
long, but it may catch the attention of someone related who reads it
on the list currently or searches the archives in the future.
Please do not change the subject line in subsequent messages related
to that subject. It breaks the connection to that string and others
following the string in the archives may not be able to follow it.
When you are asking for help you should correctly identify your source
information so that others can look at the record. In ArkivDigital
click on edit in the top menu and then click on the first option,
Copy source identifier. Then paste it into your message. This is
an example of what you will see:
Jönköpings Sofia AI:16 (1861-1867) Image 14 / page 5 (AID:
v23199.b14.s5, NAD: SE/VALA/00171)
If you are using another source, such as Ancestry, state that the info
is from Ancestry and look for identifying info similar to what is
shown above. Those trying to help can usually find the info if they
are using a different source. If info is from another type of web
page, include the web address for the page.
When responding to a message, please delete all irrelevant info not
related to your response, signatures, previous messages, etc. You may
just cut and paste the specific sentence/paragraph that you are
responding to. You will see good examples of this in the messages of
others.
If you are receiving the Digest, which includes a number of message,
do not just hit reply when responding to a message. Hit reply, copy
& paste the subject line of the message to which you are replying and
be sure to delete all the other messages in that digest.
There is one additional page, SweGGate, created by a former list
administrator, Dr Fredrik Haeffner. Though some links are dead, it
has not been updated since 2006, it is chocked full of valuable
information and well worth exploring. You will find the page here:
http://webbutik.riksarkivet.se/en/products/cd-dvd/
You will find links for various map resources here:
https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Sweden_Maps
The records are kept under the old map designations, not the new ones,
so knowing where these places were is invaluable in finding records.
It must be noted that locations recorded in genealogical records
should be what they were at the time of an event, not what they are
today.
When messages become personal, discussions unrelated to the subject
line and not relevant to research, they should be taken offline.
Last, but not least, if you wish to switch from list to digest,
unsubscribe search the list archives, see the information at the end
of this message for list addresses. If you are switching your
subscription from one email address to another, or from list to digest
or digest to list, unsubscribe from the old address before subscribing
with the new address.
